Last weekend I got the opportunity to take part in a digital art event where generative artists across London and elsewhere came together to experience an exhibition, have conversations and watch some talks. It was amazing. It was held in a cool place in Peckham, called Peckham Levels. I got so tired of traveling to Peckham that I decided not to go on Sunday, unfortunately.
The event inspired me to try to get back into making generative pieces regularly. I won’t say that I’m going to achieve that but I will at least try.
I’m actually off sick this week so I thought I would relax by writing some creative code.
This is the composition I came up with. I call it flying.
It was constructed using a new library I’m writing to make
it easier for me to create pieces, code name d (better
name TBD). The gradient in the background is pretty trivial.
The looped curve figure in the foreground is something I
really love and will come back to in future pieces. It is
essentially a Bezier curve that is controlled by a
continuous path of points. The point data is taken by
tracing an elliptical path through Perlin noise. Because the
ellipse is continuous, so is the path derived from the
points.
The text below was randomly generated and then used to create the seed shown in brackets. Some texts have the same seed.
